Hi, I am writing a functional test for a controller. The problem I have is that a before filter defined in ApplicationController is hit and I don''t know how to stub it. I tried controller.expects(:find_site).returns(@site) but it fails as controller is unknown method. I tried ApplicationController.expects(:find_site).returns(@site) but the assertion fails as it never happens. So how do I deal with that? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I tried the following:
def setup
@controller = ProductsController.new
@request = ActionController::TestRequest.new
@response = ActionController::TestResponse.new
@site = Site.new(:domain_name => ''example.com'')
@controller.expects(:find_site).returns(@site)
end
But with the debugger, once inside the action of the controller being
tested, @site is not set, and therefore the action cannot run correctly.

Re: Stubbing an ApplicationController before_filter
Hi, The RSpec Book (http://www.pragprog.com/titles/achbd/the-rspec-book) just added a new chapter about testing controllers, within which is an example of testing a before filter. You might find it of use.

> Just for this issue? If so, there was no need.Not just for that issue, and Brandon probably assumed I was using rspec, but it pissed me off some time ago. Each time I would hit a wall with RSpec and have to search for hours how to solve it. With Test::Unit for some reason, I don''t have as many little annoying troubles, and when I do, I find a solution whether on my own or by reading stuff online very quickly. I am having a much better testing experience with Test::Unit.> > How were you able to solve the problem?

So I stubbed the Model class method that the instance variable will be set to. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
